Last summer the student went to the village ______ the farmers.

A) to help B) for helping

Although both of the above options sound correct which one is a better choice to use here ? Or they both are equally good and don't make any difference ?

  • I wouldn't trust "sounds correct" when learning a language. Could you add some grammatical explanation why one or the other might be correct?
